mings or abundant garnitures of lace give
the sateen suits q more fanciful eject
than has been seen in some seasons past.
The skirts are varied in drapery, but q
simple effect is produced by narrow pam
els and long drspery. Often the skirt is
draped on the left side. An elabora ely
made blue and white sateen has the IN
tire front covered with loops of blue rib
bon, each finished with white pendant
bead
NOTES.
Dotted stuffs are very fashionable.
The bang in hair dressing has resumed
its sway.
Large hoop earrings are again g. ting
into favor.
White wool dresses will be extensively
worn at the seaside this summer.
Maize is asserting its claims to be con-
sidered fashionable color.
Velvet ribbon is lavishly used as gar
niture for hats, bonnets and gowns.
The swell feminine handkerchief is
simply film of batiste, foulard or surah.
The cobweb seems to be the ideal.
The newest summer gloves are in dark
shades of bronze green stitched with pale
green, and old pink stitched with white.
Sleeves for summer dresses are made
quite full, pleated perpendiCularly about
the armhole, and confined by wristband
at the lower end.
Old fashioned corn color is again in
favor for summer frocks or for ribbons
and accessories of the toilet, to be worn
with white dresses.
Black faille, black suah, and black
cashmere are severally made up in com
bination with black and white striped or
large plsided merveillux silks.
Bridemalds' gowns have been made in
q number Of instances lately of either
soft silk or wooden material, all of one
tone, and worn with stringless bonnets
to match, trimmed with one color-merely
poufs of tulle.
All fashionable dressy frocks, even
when worn in the street, have sleeves not
more than three-quarter length, or reach
ing Just little below the elbow while
with such sleeves long, eight button
length gloves are de rie eur.
Cnildren's hats for the June walk will
be somewhat wider than those seen in
May. Broad leghorns, some childishly
simple in shape and in trimming, others
with all manner of quaint and coquettish
furnishings, are among the specialties.
Caps are little used by old ladies' who
have abundant hair, but for morning there
are little round Crown-caps OF null, with
oriental lace in two sCently-gsthered bows
lying fat on the head.
Old-fashioned pink and blue frocks of
daphanOus cotton and wooden stuffs,
muslins, zephyrs, batistes, bereges,
mousselines de laine, grapes, and even
silk gauzes are revived for dressy as well
as simple summer toilets.
A useful waist is of velvet, to wear
with different skirts. A pretty one WAS
shown by French modiste of dull olive
green velvet, with pulled sleeves snd fichu
of pale blue Grape. The waist was open
at the throat and the fichu was crossed
over the bust. Below the left breast was
set on q pale blue MORE ribbon FIVE inches
wide, that crossed over diagonally and
fastened on the waist at the right, giving
a picturesque short wasted effect.
Very ornate low-cut sandals and slip
pers, with tabs, straps, bands, and
buckles, are still very fashionable for
drawing room toilets, but are never
adopted tor the street, except for car
risge wear during the very heated sum-
mer weather.; however, half-low New
port ties, Fedora shoes, and medium high
opera shoes will be seen on the promen-
ade, these invariably worn with stockings
of Jet black, no other color being admis-
sible, unless perhaps exception be made
of golden brown silk stockings or hose of
fine Lisle thread of this color, worn with
half low shoes of bronze kid.
